31 Days of Gratefulness: Day 9


 
So yea, I forgot to post this last night.  Oops.  My husband got home late from work so I was caught up in making dinner and playing with the little one and bedtime routine and making lunches and all of that fun stuff.

Anyway...my Baby Girl is in daycare.  I hate it but it's our only option right now.  Our goal is for me to stay home so she doesn't have to go to daycare anymore but again, it works for now.  Hopefully someday soon we can get her out!

The daycare we chose is actually out of our way.  We chose it because my Uncle's girlfriend works there.  A woman who has been coming to our Christmas gatherings for the past I don't even know how many years.  A woman we have come to know and trust and love.

But, like I said, the daycare is a bit out of our way.   
 
So today I am grateful for
 

My Mother

 
She picks Baby Girl up from daycare every day because it's on her way home from work.  She picks her up and takes her to her house and keeps her until I get off of work.  It really helps us out a lot because I don't have to worry about getting off of work in time to go pick her up because sometimes Mommas gotta work late.  It also helps keep me out of the traffic hell that is our highway system around here.

It benefits Baby Girl because she gets to see her Grandmother every day and she loves it!  I always say that my Mom shits gold because everything she does, Baby Girl laughs it.  It's amazing the bond that they share and I couldn't be happier.

So thanks, Mom.  You're a rock star!

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

Big News!

We have been trying very hard to keep this to ourselves for just a little while longer but I can't wait anymore!    Baby Miller #2...due 09/01/13!!!!!!!!! I am 8 weeks and 1 day I have known since Christmas Eve I am much more tired and much more nauseous this time around I haven't gained a single pound yet, unlike last time I am not so secretly hoping it's another girl If this one is anything like Baby Girl, he or she will be born mid-August I've been leaving hints all over the place but no one noticed! I am so excited!   I've already had one doctor's appointment but I was only 7 weeks so there wasn't much to do.  We couldn't hear the heartbeat or anything so the next appointment will be much more exciting!  My next appointment isn't until February 11th so that's when I'll get to hear and possibly see my next little monster!  So exciting!   PS:  Notice the blog title?!
